Desddemona has it. I fear many have missed the point; that here is a situation in which some humans are treaating other humans disrespectfully and inhumanely. It doesn't matter whether by that I mean how the US is treating Al-Qaida prisoners, or how American prisoners are being treated abroad. Nationality and 'sides' shouldn't have to come into it - those who are outraged by this behaviour are outraged on behalf of humanity, not for any transient nation-state.
